  2. Hi Mike,
    I don’t know enough about MonaVie to argue its potential value, but I will look into it. My concern, though, is that it is being touted for all manner of ailments, and that makes me feel some caution about it. The marketing tactics associated with MonaVie are also very concerning…read on.

    Someone posted a MonaVie-touting response to a question about cancer on the AHMA forum. Now you are saying that it is helpful for depression.

    Certainly, something with a lot of antioxidants will be helpful in various ways in the body, but there are few substances that have as big of a range of benefits as has been suggested for this one product. They do exist, as has been seen for Vitamin D and fish oils, but until I have more info, I’m not going to be jumping on the MonaVie bandwagon.

    In addition, the person who wrote about MonaVie in the AHMA forum used the shady marketing tactic of asking a question about cancer because of a mother’s illness and then trying to answer it under a different name with a MonaVie plug. You can see this post at:

    In addition, when I checked out the URL for your name, I found that you work for MonaVie, something that you did not disclose in your comments. Because of this, I have taken out the links from your comments. These marketing tactics raise untold numbers of red flags for me, and I will be very cautious about it until I get more info.
